Cool Cat Teacher http://www.coolcatteacher.com/ is a technology and teaching blog. She includes all sorts of educational topics. I found things on app smashing and also something about giving yourself time off (a sabatical) in the summer to allow yourself to rejuvenate.
Lisa Nielsen of The Innovative Educator http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/ hosts a technology and teaching blog. The blogger is Lisa Nielsen and she was a bored, discontent. She wants to change the educational landscape, so she infuses tons of technology! She has tons of practical things on there from using cell phones in class to keeping in contact with parents. I was just looking for things like that the other day and then I found her blog! It fit perfectly!
Blogging About the Web 2.0 Connected Classroom http://blog.web20classroom.org/ is a technology and teaching blog. The articles are long and thoughfully written. The gentleman that hosts the blogs, Steven Anderson, is also someone I follow on Twitter. He worked from the nuts and bolts side before he became an application guy. I really enjoy his positive attitude and practical tips on how to infuse the technology and think about the real stuff.
Web 2.0:
ProProfs Quiz Maker (http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/create-a-quiz.php) is a Chrome app. I chose this one because I have been looking for quite a while to find an online secure Quiz taking feature that is flexible for my Moodle course. I think this one has what I am looking for in a program. There are various templates you can use, pre-fab questions set up for different things--personality quizzes and all kinds of funny stuff--and a place where you can create your own quiz that is scored for you. There is a free version for educators, but there are limited features in that version. I think I will use this to provide quizzes in an online course environment, but I think it would be easy to use this with a link on a blog, wiki, or whatever else.
Zaption (http://www.zaption.com/) is a program that you can use to make videos interactive. You choose a video and put it in the program. You can stop the video at any point and insert questions which will pop up when the students watch it. You can see their answers under the analytics tab by downloading them and the students can rate the video. There are lots of options and I really like it so far. I think educators use videos a lot and this allows the students to interact and process the video as they go through it instead of zoning out during the video and then wondering what they just saw at the end.
